Shelby Introduces GT500 Super Snake And Other Supercar Packages

June 28, 2009

Been hoping to get your new Ford racers supertuned? You might be in luck, as Shelby Automobiles is introducing a number of new customization packages for several Ford roadsters. Chief on the list of offerings is the "Super Snake" package, which will fashion your already muscle-bound GT500 into a tricked-out supercar.

Updates you will get include a handling pack (either Ford Raching or Eibach), a supercharger kit (630hp or 725hp), new 20-inch wheels, Borla exhaust system, transmission package, special fiberglass hood, signature Super Snake stripes, Shelby lettering, plates and badges, and various Shelby-signature interior components. Price is $29,495 for the 630hp package and $33,495 for the 725hp tuning. You'll have to bring your own car (2010 model only), of course.

The Super Snake GT500 is largely considered as one of the most sought-after muscle car tunings around and will be offered with limited availability. While I wouldn't go so far as to call it "the pinnacle" as Shelby seems wont to do, it can also make a competitive case for it.

Other packages available include a Shelby GT/SC (supercharger, new brakes and triple gauges), Shelby GT/SR (one-piece driveshaft and various racing components), Supercharged Mustang GT (supercharger, along with upgrades to the brakes, suspension and exhaust) and a few more that you can check out at the links below. Now, go have your cars tuned while I sit stuck in my basement, drooling with envy and playing with GTR.
